She has been on a life journey for personal health and believes that all human beings have an inner healing intelligence. She helps people to access this through self-help and preventative therapy.

Schools are academic spaces, yet they are also social spaces, where individuals have an opportunity to engage with each other and to establish long term relationships that have an impact their own lives and on school climate. Schools are fairly unique as social systems in that they involve a wide range of roles and responsibilities as well as ages. Tara and Vicky speak to some of the many ways in which we can encourage respectful and healthy relationships in this socially vibrant arena - both one on one (e.g. teacher and students, administrators to teachers) and on a larger scale, as we look to the impact of relationships on the whole school community.
